AN ACT to authorize the Peconic Land Trust to file  an  application  for
  exemption  from  real  property  taxes  for  a  certain parcel of land
  located in the town of Brookhaven

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the  assessor  of  the town of Brookhaven is hereby authorized to accept
from the Peconic Land Trust an application for exemption from real prop-
erty taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real property  tax  law  for
the  2014-2015 assessment roll, for the parcel located in the village of
Mastic Beach in the town of Brookhaven, at  19  Private  Road  otherwise
known  as tax map number SCTM #209-8-1-15.  If accepted, the application
shall be reviewed as if it had been received on or  before  the  taxable
status date established for such roll.
  If  satisfied  that  the Peconic Land Trust: (i) acquired title to the
property for which it seeks exemption subsequent to the  taxable  status
date  established for such roll and prior to the taxable status date for
the next ensuing assessment roll and (ii) would otherwise be entitled to
such exemption if the Peconic Land Trust had filed  an  application  for
exemption  by  the  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor of the
town of Brookhaven, upon approval by the town board of  such  town,  may
grant exemption from all taxation beginning with the date of acquisition
of  the  property  by  the  Peconic  Land  Trust  and  make  appropriate
correction to the subject roll. If exemption is granted and the  Peconic
Land Trust therefore shall have paid any tax with respect to the subject
roll,  the governing body or tax department may, in its sole discretion,
provide for the refund of those taxes paid including the amount  of  any
taxes  held  in  escrow pursuant to the sale of such property and cancel
taxes, fines, penalties or interest remaining unpaid.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
